File Description

This video tutorial demonstrates how to convert a 2 part bmp texture from SFC to a TGA file used in bridge commander, how to convert a model from SFC to BC, How to Render a tactical icon properly, settings displayed, and how to scale a ship. It shows the nessecary settings and what menu's to find them under. There is also a pair of video which deal with those annoying ships that are "less than perfect". Offcenter ships, ships which have textured or lightmaps removed (likely due to the part of the moel which uses them being cut off for a kitbash) and the textures not being deleted from the mesh, and how avoid conversion failures due to those textures still being there. It also deals with exactly how to adjust a pivot for a mesh so it is centered properly and doesn't rotate on the port impulse engine as it fly's around your screen. If you've ever wanted to know what your site admin-slash-all time favorite modder sounds like on a computer mic....:mepimp:
